Kronchev's initial idea of running poly tube all over the case wouldn't work too well, but I still think its a pretty clever insight. If a company like Lian Li or Coolermaster were to make a case with a radiator integrated on one of the side panels, preferably the one behind the motherboard, that would be a "cool" case so to speak.

It would eliminate a headache of watercooling: Where to stuff the radiator where it will both be exposed to air outside the case and be practical. When you get into running triple 120's and so forth, its not very simple to integrate....pain in the ass really. But if you could buy a case where basically one side was just a great big radiator, ergonimically and aesthetically integrated by design with the case, that would be friggin awesome.

The specifics for such a design such as # of passes, flow, fan mounting and size, I guess are open questions. A lot of different approaches to such a thing. But it is most definitely possible for sure. Unless it wuz outrageously expensive, I would buy one I think.
